By Plenary Sessions: Signe Kivi

Kivi views the decline of the Estonian language in the service sector and public space as a serious problem that threatens the integrity of the state and encourages the formation of a parallel society. He stresses that learning the language is the responsibility of every person arriving in Estonia, and society must be more demanding regarding language requirements. At the same time, he also emphasizes the importance of foreign language proficiency to prevent Estonia from becoming provincial.

The political stance centers on strong support for the bill concerning the extension of the Estonian National Opera, stressing the necessity of developing high culture in the heart of Tallinn. The speaker positions himself as a pragmatist who acknowledges the state's limited financial capacity for constructing a new opera house, and therefore favors the extension. He emphasizes the need for political decisions to overcome hurdles related to heritage and nature conservation, in order to prevent cultural life from moving out of the city center.

The political position is strongly geared towards supporting the transition to Estonian-language education, while simultaneously acknowledging the complexity and massive scale of this undertaking. The speaker focuses on the effectiveness of policy implementation within the education and research sector, referencing a decision adopted by the previous composition of the Riigikogu. The position is rather results-oriented, focusing on solving problems and achieving successful outcomes.
